Chewie Labs LLC currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating an even distribution of examination environments for the active matters. The presence of 2 distinct art units shows that the 2 pending office actions involve different technical classifications within the broader mechanical engineering field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PRESSLEY, PAUL DEREK, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents a portion of the total pending workload for the company. With 2 distinct examiners assigned to the current filings, there is no concentration of workload under a single individual. This distribution requires the applicant to address the specific preferences of the assigned personnel while navigating the standards of the assigned art units. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across these different examination points.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
